How to Create a Telegram Bot Token and Get Your Chat ID

Follow these steps to connect Telegram with your Affiliate Pro system and receive instant notifications.

🔧 Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot

  • Open Telegram and search for @BotFather
  • Type /start, then /newbot
  • Enter a bot name (e.g. AffiliateProNotifier)
  • Enter a bot username (must end with bot, e.g., affiliate_pro_bot)
  • You will receive your Bot Token (e.g. 123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrSTUvwxYZ)

👤 Step 2: Get Your Chat ID

  • Start a chat with your bot and click Start
  • Open this URL in your browser (replace <BOT_TOKEN>):
    https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOT_TOKEN>/getUpdates
  • Send a message to the bot, then refresh the above URL
  • Look for this block:
    "chat": { "id": 123456789, ... }
    The number is your Chat ID

🧪 Step 3: Test It

Open this URL in your browser (replace with your real data):

https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOT_TOKEN>/sendMessage?chat_id=<CHAT_ID>&text=Test+message

🧩 Final Step: Connect to the System

  • Go to Admin Panel → Useful links→Settings→Telegram Settings section
  • Paste your Bot Token and Chat ID
  • Enable the notification types you want (e.g., New Registration)

Note: Make sure the bot is not blocked and has an active chat with your Telegram account.
